Overview
Rondo® Steel Stud Systems are internal stud framing systems made of light gauge steel. They are designed to offer a cost and time efficient way of installing non-load-bearing internal partitions that can accommodate acoustic and fire-rated solutions for multi- unit/apartment applications.
The Rondo® KEY-LOCK® concealed batten ceiling system is designed to provide a cost and time efficient way of installing a compliant framing solution for internal ceilings and external soffits.
The Rondo® MAXIFrame® external stud framing system can accommodate a vast array of external façade and screen systems on one side, and a surface for directly fixed internal lining on the opposite side.
Rondo® Quiet Stud® is an acoustic internal stud framing system designed to reduce noise reverberation and transmission from one room to the next. In conjunction with various plasterboard and insulation tested systems, a high STC rating can be achieved, ideal for multi-unit applications.
Application
Rondo® Steel Stud Systems are designed to offer cost-effective internal wall framing (including acoustic and fire walls) for multi- units and apartments projects. They are faster to install and with less material required compared to traditional timber framing construction.
Rondo® KEY-LOCK® Concealed Batten Framing Systems are designed to offer cost-effective versatile ceiling framing for multi- unit and apartment projects, and offer fire-rated, non-fire rated, acoustically rated and seismically rated ceiling solutions. Catering for both direct fixed and suspended ceiling applications (making them very effective systems for MDH), they are able to be installed to a variety of structures (concrete, steel, and timber).
Rondo® MAXIFrame® External Stud Framing Systems are designed to offer cost-effective, non-combustible external wall framing for multi-unit and apartment projects. They are faster to install and with less material required compared to traditional external timber framing construction and able to support a vast range of façade materials and systems.
Rondo® Quiet Stud® Acoustic System is designed to offer high STC ratings for inter-tenancy walls of multi-units and apartment projects, and corridor walls in apartments and hotel construction. In high-end units/apartment construction, Rondo® Quiet Stud® is often used for internal walls (separation of bedrooms to main living areas as an example).
Benefits
Rondo® Steel Stud Systems — Rondo® Steel Stud Systems provide an internal framing solution that is faster to install (less labour), and keeps the wall thickness to a minimum (favourable in apartments and townhouses where maximising floor space is key), and can be effectively designed to comply against site specific seismic and wind loads parameters.
Sections can be manufactured to size eliminating on-site wastage and cutting labour. Steel framing construction typically allows for less material/m² of walls against traditional timber framed construction. Utilising high capacity sections such as DUPLEX® stud, the requirement for horizontal nogging is heavily reduced, stud centres can be maximised and greater stud heights can be achieved.
